Devotions
For the Sake of the Glory
"I come to do thy will, O God" (Heb. 10:9). God wants to pour out His Glory in us and upon us. He wants us to lay hands on the sick and see them recover. He wants us to cast out demons and raise the dead. He wants us to have so much of His power flowing through our...
Led By The Spirit Means No Law
"But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law." (Gal. 5:18 NASB) The leading of the Spirit is here contrasted to being under the law. Law is any system of rewards and punishments we adhere to. (If you do this, then you'll get that.) That's what law...
Jesus Paid the Price
"Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand" (Isa. 53:10). Several years ago, I heard...
Happiness and the Presence of God
"In Your presence is fullness of joy..." (Psalm 16:11 NKJ). This verse is a continuation of yesterday's lesson in which we considered David's record of his enjoyment and satisfaction with his allotted inheritance. Now in this passage he indicates the source of...
Jesus Performs Money Miracles
"How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him" (Acts 10:38). Does God perform money miracles? Now if you were to go through the Word of God,...
He Answers
"Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore.... He shall call upon me, and I will answer him..." (Ps. 91:14-15). "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not" (Jer. 33:3). "And all things, whatsoever ye...
Honor God and He’ll Honor You
"Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine" (Prov. 3:9-10). The book of Proverbs gives us a very basic principle of success. It is...
The Best Path for Your Life
Psalm 32:8 says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you” (NLT). The Lord promises not only to guide us on the best path for our lives, but also to advise us all along the way. Although Romans 8:14 says, “For all...
The Spirit Reveals Mysteries
A few years ago I heard a minister preach a great sermon. He taught on 1 Corinthians 2:9, where it says, "Eye has not seen, not ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him." The theme of his message was...
Be Known for Your Understanding—Be Wise
Proverbs 16:21 (NLT) The wise are known for their understanding, and instruction is appreciated if it's well presented. Wise people are usually well grounded, balanced, and have strong beliefs. We are used to thinking that a wise person is old in age, but in...
